Reddit mentions: The best children media tie-in comics

Fun, thanks for hosting the scavenger hunt!

1. Something Blue: These journals are so beautiful, and I just thought I would start the scavenger hunt out with something simple and beautiful. Is that too corny of a reason to put them on here?
   
2. Summer: Summer reminds me that I will soon be in a place with sun constantly radiating down and burning my retinas. We're all gonna need some sunglasses.
   
3. Unusual Food-Related Item: Kawaii Squishies are super cute, smell like freshly baked bread (or cream soda), and are shaped like foods! I had a lot of wiggle room with this category, and while I have tons of things about food in my WLs, I just think these are great to pass out to stressed friends, as well.
   
4. Gift Someone Else: A Bidet for the Fiancé Kind of a silly one, but my fiancé loves bidets. I've always wanted to get him one, and so this is my ultimate "I love you" gift for him. I actually thought about getting it for him and calling it his engagement ring, in response to the one he just got me. Do you think it would make him laugh?
   
5. Book!: The book Lab Girl by Hope Jahren has gotten a lot of great press, and it seems very relevant to any woman in a demanding science-related field. I think it would be an interesting, and hopefully inspiring, read.
   
6. Less Than a 1$: Somehow this shampoo brush is only $.01? Is that real?
   
7. Related to Dogs: I haven't owned a dog since my family's golden retriever, Max. He was such a wonderful light in our house, and I think about him a lot. I know that GSD are really smart, so I figured I'd put something a smart-alecky GSD owner might have on here. ;)
   
8. Not Useful, But Awesome: I really love oracle cards. I find that they sort of get me past challenges that maybe I'm too stubborn to see for myself. I think they are a good psychological tool, but I also know most people would find them less than useful. Therefore, they are mostly just awesome, and I want them.
   
9. Great Movie: I get some flak for it, but my favorite movie of all time is Coraline. I think it is just so thought-provoking and the animation is beautiful. It really has a special place in my heart.
   
10. Zombies Attack!: Weirdly enough, I am in the process of creating an emergency plan and some bugout bags for my fiancé and I. It's more of a hobby than worry, but I always thought a couple of these matches would come in handy when the hammer drops.
    
11. Life Goals: This one might require a little explanation. So, I just quit my career as an archaeologist to become a creative writer, and my fiancé just quit his archaeology career to become an illustrator. Together we are writing some children's books, creating a comic book series, and hosting a podcast. It has come to our attention that these endeavors require social media presence (something neither of us are very good at). Through our bumbling around, we've found that our pictures are turning out less-than-great for social media, and the problem is lighting. I think this lightbox really neat for anyone who wants to make their pictures look professional on social media.
    
12. Add-Ons: Makeup Remover Cloths These are so useful, I thought about even adding them to the Zombie Apocalypse part of the Scavenger Hunt! I sometimes forget to take care of my skin. So I started leaving one of these by my nightstand just for those times when I'm too lazy (or drunk) to take my makeup off. They are lifesavers!
    
13. Fandom Related: Adventure Time, come on grab your friends.... No explanation needed really. AT is amazing, and I'm sad the series is ending, but we will always have the comics!
    
14. Ridiculously Priced: Okay, let's chat. This watch is over $200,000 and has 4 reveiws? 4 people bought this? Why?! If I was that rich, I'd hole up in my cool-ass movie theater and eat caviar all day. Who needs a watch for that?
    
15. Shark or Unicorn: This unicorn color-changing light is on my wishlist. I want it so badly, but have no idea where I would put it. The bathroom maybe? It has to be somewhere that won't get in the way of all my other unicorn stuff. I like when people just happily stop upon a unicorn in the apartment. When they're peeing is a good time, right?
    
16. Smells Great: These candles are the scents of a coffee shop and so I know everyone in my house would feel warm and welcome right when they walk in once they are lit. These are actually three of my favorite scents, so you can probably tell that I have a slight coffee-related addiction.
    
17. Toy: Dixit is an amazing game. Like...I don't know how to describe it. A bunch of cards with illustrations on them need to be described by the players, and then everyone votes on which description they like the best (blindly vote). It's just a wonderful game for inspiration, and you can make it as complicated or as simple as you'd like. I really enjoy playing it with both my friends and family.
    
18. Helpful for Writers: An Imaginative Workbook! I think one of the biggest things writers forget how to do is play! We spend so much time in our universe, trying to make it perfect, that sometimes we forget to just let go and have our imaginations run wild. I think workbooks like the one I just linked are perfect for when writer's block hits, or when we need a pick-me-up to remember why we started writing in the first place.
    
19. Current Obsession: My current obsession has become learning how to play the ukulele. I heard on a couple of podcasts that it really boosted some people's happiness, especially if they loved music, but didn't feel like they had the time to learn to play a new instrument. I have been borrowing my neighbor's, but since I am moving soon, I've decided to purchase one from Amazon. They have tons of ukuleles on there, weirdly.
    
20. Makes You Laugh: As a person who loves Wes Anderson films this coffee table book always makes me laugh.
    
    Edit: Finished! I love scavenger hunts; it always reminds me what a weirdo I am.

There's a really good all-ages Rocket Raccoon series that also features Groot going on right now. The first collection isn't out until February, but maybe put it on your list: http://amzn.com/0785193898

Marvel did a series of fun all-ages graphic novels featuring a team of kid superheroes called Power Pack a few years ago that I would recommend picking up. Anyhow, I mention them because one of the novels was Power Pack and Wolverine. Great for a seven year old.

Another all-ages series I think he'd like is Bone by Jeff Smith. It's a sort of fantasy adventure story, really good stuff. There's nine volumes in all, here's the first one: http://amzn.com/0439706408

Does he like Adventure Time? There's some really good Adventure Time comics out there. Here's the first collection: http://amzn.com/1608862801

The store I worked for had a fundraiser for The Jimmy Fund and we were raising money for cancer. In exchange for a $1 donation, we gave them a scratch off ticket with a prize, usually something off the dollar menu at Burger King or a few other things.

I had just transferred stores, and was brand new. They thought it would be funny to put me at the fundraising table at the door (this was a store in a mall) to deal with the task of bugging everyone that entered and left to donate to the Fund, and explain to them the benefits of donating.

I got pretty into it, sporting a flower crown, an apron, they gave me a megaphone, I had balloons and I was actually making really good money here, like we were at over $100 raised in an hour and a half.

A couple people stopped and hung out with me for a while, watching me dance around and make people laugh, but one old weird dude stuck around all day.

He kept trying to talk to me and make the other customers go away and leave me alone so he could talk to me, and kept trying to give me his number and shake my hand. It was reeeally super weird, but I asked him politely to leave so I could do my job. He said ok and stood like 10 feet away and came back trying to talk to me and touch me and give me his number, so the manager came out and asked him to please be on his way and let me do my job.

The guy said okay, and left but within half an hour he was back doing the same thing being a weirdo. My manager called security and security asked him politely to leave me alone and he left. He came back and security escorted him out. He came back and got frickin arrested. I had to stay in the back room, in the break room. My manager gave me free movie tickets and bought me lunch and let me go home early, so it was pretty sweet.

edit: People be crazy.

Also, there's this Adventure Time Comic I would really love!

Graphic novels:

• Assassin's Creed Subject Four - It combines the 2 graphic novels "The Fall" and "The Chain" in one and is basically the prequel to the present day story in the games. It's the oldest comic and quite hard to find a physical edition nowadays. If you can't find it, look for "The Fall" and "The Chain" seperately.
  
  
• Assassin's Creed Brahman - A comic from 2013 and quite hard to find physically, similarly to Subject 4.
  
  There are also newer comics published by Titan:
  
  
• Assassin's Creed - Has 14 issues, split in 3 volumes.
  
  Vol. 1 - "Trial By Fire"
  
  Vol. 2 - "Setting Sun"
  
  Vol. 3 - Homecoming
  
  
• Assassin's Creed: Templars - 9 issues, split in two volumes.
  
  Vol. 1 - "Black Cross"
  
  Vol. 2 - "Cross of War"
  
  
• Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus - A standalone miniseries, but it takes place between the first and second "Last Descendants" novel. It features some familiar characters from Syndicate, but it's only worth the read if you're reading the novels it's named after.
  
  
• Assassin's Creed Uprising - the final major arc from the comics. "Assassin's Creed" and "Templars" must be read first, read "Uprising" after that as it continues the stories and features characters from both previously mentioned series. It finishes a major present day storyline from the games, so it's definitely worth the read despite the issues of the format it's presented in. Has 12 issues, collected in 3 volumes.
  
  Vol. 1 - "Common Ground"
  
  Vol. 2 - "Inflection Point"
  
  Vol. 3 - "Finale"
  
  
• Assassin's Creed: Reflections - standalone mini-series, portraying a short adventure for each of the following assassins: Altair, Ezio, Connor and Edward. Should be read after "Assassin's Creed" and "Templars", but before "Uprising", but it doesn't really matter for the overall plot. It's more of a fun little adventures for each of these beloved characters and has an interesting reveal or two in there, but nothing major.
  
  
• Assassin's Creed Origins - another standalone mini-series. It's 4 issues follow the story of Aya after the events in the game Origins, so you should definitely finish it first before you read this one.
  
  And finally - Assassin's Creed Conspiracies. Originally a two-part comic in French, it has now been translated to English. Collected edition should be out on December 18th, 2018.

Physical copies look better imo. The colors are nicer. I you are willing to wait, get the Trade Paperbacks!

Volume 1 (Chrysalis Arc, which is awesome) is out here.

Volume 2 (Nightmare arc, personaly didn't like as much) will be out Sept. 24 here.

There will also be a compilation of the mane 6 micro series in November here.
The Rarity and the Pinkie comic were both top notch, while the others varied from good to mediocre (depending who you ask). But it is a good price for 6 comics!

Issue 9 was great, Volume 3 is looking like it will be awesome (no date yet for that one).

All of the comics are canon, but I think I know what you mean. The first 5 take place directly during the show (4 about the main gang, and 1 about the woodsman's daughter), so they are the most canon I suppose. Those 5 are now in an actual book, which I really recommend, it's very nicely put together. The on-going series (Greg's dreams, Wirt's dreams, the Woodsman's daughter, and occasionally Langtree's school) can be found at about half of most comic book stores, I've been to around 7 or so shops lately, and had luck at 3 of them.

• /u/urko37’s [Recommendation] “What comics are good for my kids?”

In that case she might be interested in the recent Banana Guard Academy miniseries, featuring a character named Root Beer Guy. As well, though they don't take place in a shared universe, she might really like the Bee and Puppycat videos (though I haven't seen any of the new ones yet), which are created by a person who works on Adventure Time and who created Fiona and Cake - who have their own comics as well now that I think of it. Bee and Puppycat also has a comic :)

I really love the comics/graphic novels, and I think that they would make a great gift because they just offer more Adventure Time content especially for those who have watched the full series and crave more. Other that that the Funko Pop Figures are fun but not that great for playing with. Maybe the best thing for an 8 year old would be the smaller figurines. And if he hasn't watched the full series yet then there is always the DVD's!

omfg candroth Thats super exciting! I dream about what I would do with my own place. I hope its amazing. <3333

Thank you darling!

The new Duck Tales comic is really good. My oldest is a year younger than yours and loves it. Can’t go wrong with Calvin & Hobbes either. Barnes & Noble has those books at $7 a piece iirc. Best deal you could find for such a masterpiece of work.

Why not? At the moment, I really would like this. :) I've been dying to read it! It's not a must have, but I would still like to have it .

My username for the first part, Kae, is a shorter version of one of my favorite characters. The second part, Mii, is a name that I think is really cute and is pronounced like Me. So Mii is Me, get it ? : )

I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I've got a small collection of the minifigures and brushable ponies, as well as some great Funko figures. I've recently gotten into comic books a little bit, but have yet to pick up the My Little Pony comics, so I'd love to have this, or really anything from my My Little Pony wishlist.

Thanks for the contest :)

> Picture books and chapter books appreciated! :)

Does that include graphic novels? Finding comic books for kids that feel like 'standard' fantasy (swords & sorcery/high fantasy) has been surprisingly challenging. Oddly enough, the only one that I've found that really fits is the comic book version of A Link to the Past: https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Link-Past/dp/1421575418/

For non-standard fantasy that still uses many standard fantasy tropes, I really like Adventure Time: https://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Time-Vol-Ryan-North/dp/1608862801/

And of course further off the path there's also Bone, Usagi Jimbo, and Amulet.

Well, not all at once, but there are paperbacks collecting the individual comics:

• The ongoing main series.
  
• Finished Micro-Series spin-off Volume 1 and Volume 2
  
• The ongoing Friends Forever spin-off.
  
  For the sake of completeness, there's also an omnibus, which also collects the main series, but is the equivalent of 3(?) of the regular paperbacks I mentioned above.
  
  Finally, if you don't want/need physical books, they're also available on the Comixology app, I believe.
  
  I hope that helps!

There are three MLP comic series, and there are indeed trade paperbacks, though obviously not all the issues of ongoing series have been collected yet. It's a good idea to read the main series in order, but doesn't really matter for the others.

The main series, simply titled "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" has story arcs of either 2 or 4 issues. With a few exceptions, they are mostly very high quality (Katie Cook and Andy Price are very good at their jobs).

The "micro series" (collected under the title "Pony Tales") featured one-shot issues focusing on individual characters. Quality-wise, they tended to be a bit hit-or-miss. It is now completed.

After the micro series finished, a new side series called "Friends Forever" started, focusing on the relationship between a pair of characters. The first issue wasn't great, but I've liked all the others so far.

They're quite entertaining, a very underrated corner of the franchise.

The best way to buy them is to look for the trade paperback volumes, here's a link to the first one on Amazon. Those collect a story arc at a time and are easier to manage for buying and handling than single issues.

Or if you want digital copies, which are cheaper, look to Comixology. Reading comics is pretty painful on a phone screen though if that's going to be your method.

Yeah no problem. I’ve never actually looked through it in person, but the Rick and Morty books are very cool and high quality, so I would assume that the zim books are the same way as well. this is the book btw

Edit: I would also recommend the Rick and Morty comic as well,

If you liked the Divine Comedy, you'll like Mickey goes to Hell.

Well you can check out some of these trade paper back editions.

First things to be available is volume one and volume two.

But if your also interested the Micro-series is going to be released in November.

Remember though there really is no value in the trade back if you are planning to re-sell. Good for the read, still though I find them good to get signed.

For the comics, a good place to start is with this book, which contains both the special and the 4 part series. These particular comics are most connected to the show, because the first four take place between certain episodes. The fifth and final comic in this book sheds some light on the Woodsman and his daughter. These were all written by Pat.

There is also the current on-going series, which takes place after the show and follows a whole new story. The next issue comes out on Wednesday. If you want to catch up, your best bet is probably going to be with digital copies. For future physical copies, you can find them at a local comic book store.

Can confirm the comics are a good choice. The "Warp Tour" compilation of the first few Ongoing comics and the recent "Fusion Frenzy" special are superb.

There are also the games, for various platforms; Save the Light is very well-designed, and has the involvement of the production team.

If you go to Walmart, they might still have some of the McFarlane building sets in the clearance section.

Hot topic should have some socks or little blind bag figures. They also have a lot of shirts in girls sizes.

You can also check eBay and Amazon to see if the old pops are reasonably priced.

There's also some 12 inch plushes for 30 bucks on Amazon of the diamonds, Lars, lion, etc.

I think hot topic still has their giant pumpkin plush.

The graphic novels are pretty good. The comic volumes are released and available on Amazon, and so are the graphic novels. I wouldn't recommend the shorter ones, like the answer, but the Art Book might be a nice option.

Steven Universe: Warp Tour (Vol. 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1684150337/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9ax3CbEACSRWZ this is the first volume of the ongoing comic

Here is a full list http://steven-universe.wikia.com/wiki/Steven_Universe_(comic_series)

You can find the trades for cheaper than a comic shop by going to amazon

Here for volume 1

Here for volume 2

Here is the Steven Universe & The Crystal Gems trade

Here is graphic novel 1

Here is graphic novel 2

There are also a bunch of scattered issues that will probably be collected into a trade eventually. 2 are 1-shots from the original series. And there is currently a new series that has 6 issues.

Also if you don't mind digital copies of the first two volumes you can get them here for even cheaper

The Adventure Time comics by KaBOOM Studios. They're written by the same guy that does Dinosaur Comics. This is the first volume, which has the first story arch in it which I believe is the first four issues You can buy the individual ones too of course. There are 31 issues thus far.

I've said in this sub before that they're amazing many times, but I won't stop heh.

For the Fiona and Cake fans, of which there certainly are many, there's a spinoff written by Natasha Allegri

There's also a spinoff with Marceline, her band and Princess Bubblegum.

It was a bit under $50 with tax and free shipping from Amazon. Here are the titles:

The Answer

Guide to the Crystal Gems

Too Cool for School

Steven Universe Vol. 1

Steven Universe Vol. 2

Yup! There are two different series, and I believe you can buy them both as ebooks:

A limited run written by Pat McHale, which fills in the gaps in the canon series with new stories. Issue #1 is an adventure taking place directly before Tales of the Dark Lantern is set. Issue #2 is set right before Mad Love, and is a comprehensive look at Fred's backstory and his relationship with the Highwayman, as told by Fred to Beatrice/Wirt/Greg. Issue #3 is another adventure in which we see a bit more of Beatrice's perspective and guilty conscience. Issue #4 is Anna's backstory.

The second series is ongoing (you can buy a subscription as well as the previous issues on Comixology). Half the adventures take place post-canon as Greg (and later Wirt) wind up in the Unknown when they're asleep. The other half of the adventures are Anna's life at home on her own, meeting the ghost of her mother among other things.

There are also a few issues in there so far illustrated by George Mager, which are tales of Langtree's classroom written picture-book-style.

Grab the upcoming omnibus
edition collecting 12 issues for a very low price (assuming your friend's
birthday is after the publication date of November 4, that is).
Otherwise you have to get the comics volume by volume, which is rather
more expensive (these trade paperbacks are more expensive than average,
but they do use slightly better paper, and there's glitter on the
cover).

> for someone who doesn't watch the
show

Might have a problem there, because the comics do assume
knowledge of the show. Volume 1 is the return of Queen Chrysalis, and
Volume 2 is about Nightmarity. You might want to get Pony Tales vol. 1
and 2 instead, which are collection of one-shots that require less
background knowledge. I personally recommend volume
2 -
the four issue (CMC, Celestia, Spike and Luna) it collects are better
than the Mane 6 ones in volume 1 (Fluttershy and Twlight's issue were
bad)

I would start with the first four issues:
http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-Volume/dp/1613776055/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411529406&sr=8-3&keywords=MLP+vol.+1

The story is probably one of the best MLP stories I've ever read, show and comic combined.

The first four are by the team Andy Price and Katie Cook. Any MLP comic worked on by them I would recommend picking up.

All of these style comics come from Magical Game Time.

He also did the art for the Costume Quest comics that came out as a tie in to the Double Fine games

And he is the current artist on Marvel's [Great Lakes Avengers comics] (http://marvel.com/comics/issue/61497/great_lakes_avengers_2016_1) Edit: He's actually the writer for GLA, not artist

You can either watch them on YouTune, download them, or you can buy them if you wish to support the creators.

There are official comics, yeah. There's an ongoing series featuring story arcs that are about 4 issues in length (currently on the second arc, issue 8 is due out soon) and a few one-shots featuring an individual character, of which there are currently 4 of, with more coming.

You can find digital copies of everything here.

If you prefer physical copies, you can check your local comic shop, or pick up the newly released trade paperback that contains the first four issues at sites like amazon. Link

I have a friend with an 8 year old daughter. Can speak from experience that she's addicted to these:

Phoebe and her unicorn

https://www.amazon.com/Phoebe-Her-Unicorn-Book/dp/1449446205

My Little pony comics

https://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-Magic/dp/1613776055

Smile

https://www.amazon.com/Smile-Raina-Telgemeier/dp/0545132061

The original run of comics (by Jeremy Sorese and Coleman Engle) ran for 8 issues. They are compiled in these TPBs: Vol 1 Vol 2

There was also a Greg Universe one-shot in the same series (probably my favorite of all the comics). That's available here

The more recent series, Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems, ran for 4 issues. They aren't available in a volume yet, only individual issues. Issue 1 is here, and this is the upcoming paperback.

There's also a standalone graphic novel.

I recommend getting the volumes because they're MUCH easier to track down.

Hi friend. Here is the link to the comixology page for Bee and Puppycat. You can buy them digitally there. If you can wait until April, here's the amazon link for the first trade.

The ongoing series of 4 issue arcs.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-Magic/dp/1613776055/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406587643&sr=1-1&keywords=my+little+pony+friendship+is+magic

I think this is the first one? It seems that everyone says all the comics are good and worth getting.

Mickey's Inferno is real easy to read and surprisingly accurate.

I got it from here for $11 you get 4 comics in one. It's great.

A fun book so I can finally find out what happens next!

You turned today into a Sunday Funday!

Actually, if you're in the UK/EU, shipping is free/reasonable, and the first TPB is at a very nice price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adventure-Time-Vol-Ryan-North/dp/1608862801

A few more months until it's released though. (it comes out on my birthday! Mathmatical!)

From the graphic novel "Steven Universe: Too Cool for School".

Adventure Time comics!

• Volume 1
  
  
• Volume 2
  
  
• Volume 3
  
  
• Volume 4
  
  
• Volume 5
  
  
• Volume 6
  
  
• Volume 7

You'd be better off buying the small books which compile the story arcs.
http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-Volume/dp/1613776055/ref=pd_sim_b_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1XB0JYV99JAHKM0Q7BE9

http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-Volume/dp/1613777604/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1XB0JYV99JAHKM0Q7BE9

If you don't want it digitally, you're much better off getting the trade paperbacks, rather than the single issues.

This has the first 4 issues: http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Time-Vol-Ryan-North/dp/1608862801

Today's your lucky day.

There's going to be a [Graphic Novel] (http://www.amazon.com/Steven-Universe-Original-Graphic-Novel/dp/1608867714) about something like that.

Yup. That's the first one. They're all called "Adventure Time Vol. [Whatever Number]".

Here's the second one: http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Time-Vol-Ryan-North/dp/1608863239/

And the third one: http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Time-Vol-Ryan-North/dp/1608863174/

For physicals I think the cheapest way is to buy them by volume. Volume 2 comes out in month. I tried to buy them physically and individually as they released but that proved to be very very costly on the shipping side. Also I would always find a new cooler cover a month later and have a little buyer's remorse. Digital copies are nice since you don't have to pay for shipping, and you get a scan of every page so it's the same thing just less tangible. Though I've read that the comic creators don't receive compensation through digial sales. Some kinda loophole. But ya know, no shipping costs. And as for free well yayponies posts the comics a day or so after they release. And there's always a comic thread on /mlp/ that dumps the comics and usually contains up to date information on future releases.

Only one? Shit, given just how many official MLP comic series there are now (there are at least 10 of them now, including the main series), that's a tough question to answer.

I guess if you have the money for it, you could go for one of the compilation books. This one, for example, contains the first 4 issues of the main series.

You can also look at online comic shops like Comixology. They usually offer some good deals.

So far there's 3 arcs. each spanning 4 comics. You can get the first 4 in a bundle right now at amazon It's gonna be a while for volume 2 to be released, so you can get the individual comics at Hottopic.com

There's also a micro series, you can get those in a bundle as well. So far they've released twilight, rainbow dash, rarity and futtershy.

You can also buy digital versions on itunes, I have a few but I've rebuying them with the bundle, the paper version is just so much better.

They come in trade paperbacks. Each one has four issues. Here's the first one.

There the volumes set, covering entire story :

>We drove out that... maniac Chrysalis, but she may be back someday.

She was. There was a four-part miniseries about it. Twilight expertly kicked her flank.

Do you know what they're called? I remember finding something similar but it wouldn't give me info on what issues they have.
Is this right? http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Time-Vol-Ryan-North/dp/1608862801/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377484681&sr=8-1&keywords=adventure+time+comic

On Amazon, it says it will be available on November 6.

I just googled it and this came out: http://imgur.com/a/kVJ4V

What I could find

I'd recommend Lumberjanes, Bee and Puppycat and Gotham Academy

They did another Fiona and Cake miniseries recently called Card Wars, but it hasn't been collected yet.

Is the paperback the comic? I'm not sure if it has the artwork, or if it is just a regular book. This is the one I'm talking about. http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Time-Fionna-Natasha-Allegri/dp/1608863387/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452240120&sr=8-1&keywords=fionna+and+cake

It's just Steven Universe (2017-). Look for the one written by Melanie Gilman, not Jeremy Sorese.

It's a bit dumb because they have like 3 separate comics series with nearly or completely identical names.

on amazon
also, i work for barnes and noble and thought id snag an employee discount if theyre out, but it states the same release date on our site =/

I hate buying issues. Trades are the way to go for my money.

Warning! Long-as-shit recommendation post incoming!

Halo:

There are several ones published by Marvel, haven't read any but my friend, whose a big Halo fan liked Halo: Blood line by Fred Van Lente

These are all written by Mac Walters, the lead writer of Mass Effect 3

• Mass effect: Redemption Liara tries to find Shepard body, set between the intro of ME2 and when Shepard wakes up in the Cerberus Lab.
  
  
• Mass Effect: Evolution The origins of the Illusive Man, set during the first contact war.
  
  
• Mass Effect: Invasion Aria defends Omega against husks and Cerberus, explains why she's on the citadel and sets the Stage for the Omega DLC
  
  
• Mass Effect: Blasto: Eternity is Forever The most glorious of all comic books.
  
  Star Wars:
  
  
• Star Wars by Brian Wood and Carlos D'Anda, set directly after Ep IV, the first TPB isn't out yet, go pick it up in floppies.

• Star Wars Legacy I, Star Wars: Legacy II just got started and it's been really good so far. Set 130 years after the movies, I follows Cade Skywalker and him coming to terms with his legacy. II follows Ania Solo, who's not force-sensitive, who has to deal with finding a lightsaber and being hunted by Imperial Knights(Imperial Jedi).
  
  
• Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, set before the video game, follows Zayne Carrick after he's been accused of murdering his fellow Padawans. No worth reading after the main plot ends.
  
  
• Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, starts with the founding of the Jeda'ii order and first contact with the Rakata's Infinite Empire and their Force Hounds, The Next arc will be the Force Wars(the first schism between the light and the Dark side)

• Spiderman
  
  The best place to start is the current Superior Spider-man, Which stars a slightly different Peter Parker

  EDIT: cleaned up a bit.
  
  EDIT 2: Links, added links to digital version where I couldn't find floppies or HC/TPB that had come out yet. Reading Digital comics on a Tablet is recommended. Dark Horse has their own app, and Comixology has most publishers except Dark Horse and some smaller ones.
